The Ballad of Waxy Bob...
These days "Bob" is a follower of the redemption, after they had found him wandering the shores of the sump sea muttering incoherently, occasionally spouting the locations of old places of interest and the cartographic information of that area...
Bob or as he once known "Chrisius Collubus" was a cartographer for the Air guild, who after his airship crashed took a serious head injury causing him to lose all conscious memory.
He now mutters near constantly random information and struggles with not absent mindedly just wandering instead of paying attention to his surroundings....
The Air guild want Bob back and have issued a bounty for his retrieval from the Cawdor unwashed masses.
If a gang can capture Bob they will on the successful post game intelligence check question Bob for information on where the wreck of the HMS Enterprise and it's cargo of archeotech. Once a gang has claimed three pieces of info they may launch an exploration attempt.
From now on when a gang takes Bob out of action roll a d6 on a 2+ Bob has been captured, on a 1 he takes a serious injury roll as usual and is not captured.
Gangs that successfully capture Bob receive d3x10 creds from the information gabbled out after a game in addition to any other rewards from the match.
Once Bob has been captured any gang may try to perform the rescue mission not just the owners gang.

Waxy Bobs mad wanderings,
Waxy Bobs head injuries which he sustained in the crash took most of his conscious memory away and left him with extreme confusion and moments of hallucination. The recent high stress hostage situations he has been at the mercy of have not helped...
At these points his now malfunctioning cogitator chips take over and start drawing maps on the nearest available walls. These will be high quality and gangs that find them can make use of the information.
The air guild implants have made Bob into an escape artist and help divert possible attacks, not that anyone will want to hurt him with all the money that can be made from his maps when he is captured and used to draw maps for the gangs...
The Guild believes he also holds very important information from his last mission which gangs can try to find out from him themselves, they may be able to get the prize first.
Rules; Bob must always be included in a gang and does not count towards scenario maximums.
Waxy Bob must pass a ( int/Wil) test or he will roll a d6 if unengaged
1-3 lose contact with reality and revert to drawing maps on the nearest available wall section.
4-6 wander off, move Bob 2d6" in a random direction.
If Bob is engaged he will act as normal as self preservation kicks in, but will try to go back to his scribbling as soon as he can so Wil not coup de grace, instead he will move 4" to the nearest wall.
Bob can avoid these effects by staying within 2" of his gang leader.
Bob must be take alive! No ranged attacks may be made against Bob that can cause a lasting injuries table roll, in melee only attacks that do not have an Ap may be used against Bob and instead of rolling for injury he is automatically treated as out cold.
DO NOT REMOVE BOB FROM PLAY.
Bob is now treated like an ammo crate (does not affect ammo rolls) and may be dragged back to the gang hideout if;
The gang wins the battle and has a fighter closest to Bob at the end of the game.
Or
Bob is dragged off the board by the captor or within 3" of the capturing gangs deployment battlefield edge.
If a gang manages to capture Bob after the game they receive an extra d6x10 creds from the maps he produces.
The gang leader or champs may try to question him, if they can pass an intelligence check they receive a piece of info regarding Nostromo.
This will take up that fighters after game actions and can only be attempted once per battle.
Once a gang has captured Bob any gang may attempt to rescue him, if so they are then allowed to question Bob. Gangs need to be successful three times to get all the info out of Bob needed to find out what and where the Nostromo is.
Bob is an amazing escape artist, his implants have the ability to unlock all doors without need to take an action when Bob wanders and he gets to roll an extra dice for any escape rolls in addition to having the escape artist skill. On scenarios where Bob moves randomly to escape he can always make his full double move instead.
If Bob is held by a gang that can't attend a session he automatically escapes and returns to the Rodents.
During any games the capturing gang play where they hold Bob hostage, he must be represented in game and have a jailor stay within 1" of him at all times to make sure he doesn't wander off. If for any reason in the end phase there are no fighters in 1" Bob wanders 2d6" in a random direction. If he wanders off the Board he returns to the Rodents.
Bob is not included in the starting line up for Juggerbowl.
During the blood bowl matches from the Rodents Third game onwards or after they leave the tournament, on a 6+ during the Rodents end phase Bob will randomly wander 2d6 from the deployment zone.
Add 1 to the roll for each additional turn after the first. This can be in any game after the Rodents have lost a match too, until they do it is only in their games this roll is made.
During these he will wander from a random side at the central line and act as above without the need for a test as it counts as automatically failed.
In matches after this point he may turn up randomly as well at a point 2d6" from the central point in a random direction, not within 3" of another fighter, on a 2d6 + turn roll of 13 or more if he is not already in another gangs custody or in play on another board, please let the Arbitrator know once Bob is captured so the info can be shared to all players.

The Great Sump Gate is re-opened.
The Sump sea gates have reopened and the Guilds have returned, mechanics and traders are flocking to the Port, especially after CabalVox has also opened its main arena here for Juggerbowl.
from now a gang may hold a maximum of four territories. These must still be worked by a fit ganger to receive income.
These are still only collectable twice per cycle.
Each Gang receives 500 credits to spend on boats, these credits can only be used for vehicle and mount costs. Please make a note on your gang page and send a copy of what you have over for checking. Add a bracket after gang name with ( boats total; ***)
A Booklet with boat information is available in Kraken.
Gangs may use any credits they have in their stash as well to outfit their boats and may visit the tradepost for additional vehicle gear from now on. Each boat costs 10 creds after game for fuel, bullets and supplies.
From now on gangs provide most of their own food via fishing, so gangs only pay fighter expenses once per cycle to represent beer and bullets. Boats need to be refueled etc for each battle still.
Settlements go back to standard with regards free recruits.
Gangs who pay expenses may still make a house favour roll once per week using standard rules.
